One Night of unbearable lust

Chapter 17

I closed my laptop and looked at the window. My secretary-turned-temporary-manager Greya gave me the monthly report of Satos Luxury's increase of sales. Everything was flowing smoothly for one month of my absence pero alam kong hindi ako pweding makampante. I don't want to develop trust issues with my employees but, I just can't stand it.

All because of Zelo Mendez who broke my trust. Now, I only have Kuya, Daze, and maybe Duke? I don't know why but I know I can trust him. There's only one thing I don't trust, it's my lust that keeps on bugging me everytime Duke is near.

All of a sudden, everything shattered to pieces. My relationship with my Mom, my engagement with Zelo and  I'm afraid of what's next. Soon the media would find out about my absence from Satos and I'm afraid that rumors about the ruined engagement of the great Zelo Mendez and the Caessandra Isabella Santos of Satos Luxury hotel.

Zelo is an ace card and loosing him is a big risk. I became Caessandra Isabella Santos of Satos Luxury hotel because of this certain person. He became the great Zelo Mendez because of me, we've been the talk of the town for years and all because of the 'LOVE' that we've been sharing with each other. Now? I just don't know if we've been 'SHARING' the love or he's just using me to maintain the stunning beauty of his name as a brand.

I looked down to my feet when something soft touches my toes. I screamed out loud when I saw a poodle right under my chair! In the effect of adrenaline rush, I jumped from my chair and starting running over the office. The dog started to chase me while barking so I climbed up my mini cabinet and by that I heard a loud cracking of my pencil skirt.

I just ruined my skirt and the puppy keeps on jumping and barking at me. He looks aggressive now, I'm just so shocked and I kept on taping my chest. I panicked and I'm breathing heavily.

The door opened and I saw the shocked face of my son and Duke. Agad na bumalatay ang init sa mukha ko nang makita kong pinasadahan ako ng tingin ni Duke. My skirt is ruined and yung panty kong red ay kitang kita, I saw how he managed to swallow like there's a lump on his throat. Agad naman syang tumalikod lalo na nung napansin nya ang pamumula ng mukha ko.

I'm so embarrassed!

Agad na kinuha ni Daze ang poodle at lumabas ng office. Bumaba na agad ako at pinay-payan ang sarili ko dahil sobrang init ng mukha ko.

 Nangyare ba talaga yun?
 Nangyare?
Hindi diba?
 No! It's not true!
Nakakahiya!
Nakita nya kaya yung panty kong red?
Ano kayang iniisip nya sa kulay ng panty ko?
Oh my gosh!

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago lumabas sa room na yun with a towel wrapped around my waist. Napatingin silang dalawa saakin habang nakaupo sa sofa pero umiwas din kaagad ng tingin si Daze at Duke.

"Who owns the poodle?" Tanong ko.

Agad na nagpalitan ng tingin ang magama at tinuro ang isa't isa. Minasahe ko ang sintido ko dahil nakita ko yung poodle na nakaupo sa kandungan ni Daze. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko sa aso pero takot ako dito kaya ganun nalang ang pagkagulat ko nang may makita akong poodle sa ilalim ng mesa ko at nakahiga sa malapit sa paa ko.

"Uncle Duke bought the poodle on the pet shop" ani ni Daze na itinuturo si Duke.

"You wanted it, the reason why I bough it. So definitely, it's your responsibility" ani ng 'MATURED' kunong si Duke.

"You brought me to the pet shop" sabat naman ni Daze na patuloy sa paghimas sa aso habang pikon ang mukhang nakatingin kay Duke.

"You signed the ownership for that poodle" ani ni Duke kaya nameywang na ako. Talagang walang aamin sa kanilang dalawa lalo na't narinig nila akong nagsisisigaw kanina dahil sa asong binili nila sa pet shop.
